I havent used a soda stream although i have seen it. Downside to this system is you have to get tanks or refills from soda stream i think its a trade in the empty tank for a full one type of deal. The pros is that u can have the carbonated liquid on demand i believe. Although the system i saw in person is the older version, they may have improved on their design.

I have however used and still use the isi version called twist and sparkle. Its good for approx 750ml-1l depending if its water or juice other liquid you want to carbonate. only takes 1 isi/mossa co2 cartridge to per use. The direction states that over time the carbonation will dissipitate but i have made carbonated water and juices for my restaurant use in mixed drinks and for the kitchen and they hold well in a really cold chiller for about 2-3 days. the carbonation will not be as strong as the first 3-4 hours of carbonating the liquid but it still carbonated. We saved a lot by carbonating our own water for our tempura batter and also for use in mixed drinks at the bar. Makes a really good carbonated orange soda as well from fresh OJ(fresh squeezed from fruit no pulp). hope this helps

We have and use the Penguin version sold by Williams & Sonoma and also the handheld unit to carbonated wines and juices. My wife loves them and uses them regularly. They're attractive and the cartridges are no problem to replace if you live close to a bed bath & beyond.

It's incredible cheap at Costco, $79 with the giant co2 cartridge. I really like it for making flavored seltzer, I bought some high grade fruit extracts, I'd avoid the crappy and expensive extracts they sell
